You posted video and commentary attempting to show that claims of racial disparity regarding criminal activity are merely propoganda. I gave you information that thoroughly refutes your claim. My contribution was on topic and deftly showed you to be full of shit. Ignoring it doesn't make you right or legitimize your claims.
This is an example of complete failure of comprehension or wishful thinking.
This whole thread was focused on the inconsistencies found in the one YouTube video that I posted. It portrayed an untruthful/falsified social experiment, and the evidence needed to determine its distorted timelines, and one sided outcome as being set up.
I did quote stats one of you posted in my fergason thread, but I make no claim to them or their authenticity. I simply said if they were accurate then nothing different should be expected. (This is known as a fainting or escape goat tactic.) escape goats are used in my more hot button issues, to keep trolls and flamers busy while the adults who don't allow emotion do their thinking for them. An opportunity so they can talk without the hassle of a semi on point trouble maker trying to stir the pot, or burdening me with a thirty page line by line analysis of whatever soap box topic they are just dying to spew. So rather than ruin my topic, and drag it where they want to go I give them what they want to hear, and put a fork in the road. This fork allows those who want to stay on topic the opportunity to do so, and it allows the lemmings to follow whatever the guy I front of them is doing, if that is where they are at.
So, again. If you are not speaking about the video, you are off topic as I only quoted what I remembered what one of you posted, and formulated some sound reasoning based off those numbers. To which I dropped the moment it was challenged. Why? Because you needed to be a hero and I was more than willing to be the bad guy. Now that you won what did you think of the video?

You and rexbec carroxs (pronounced carrots)
Why not just call me Becca or rex? My user name has nothing whatever to do with carrots, and like poca, I don't have a nickname for you, so...
Before we had the explain your name thread I was trying to phonetically make sense of your screen name, and rexbec carrots is what I came up with. It just stuck. Just like 'pro carrots'. I don't know why I see so many carrots here I don't even like them.

Have you considered that threads wander a bit, and that despite you having started it, it's not your position to dictate what is or is not appropriate for the thread? You are of course free to choose what to respond to, but complaining that Cato's post was off-topic makes you come across as a bit of a twat (and I'm being generous, here).
That's the op's prerogative is it not? To pick and choose the direction of his or here thread?
As generous as you think you maybe, I went a step further and gave Cato the chance he wanted to slay a dragon. He righted a Great social injustice, and provided his links and numbers to show what I had said was wrong. What more is their to discuss? Oh, wait! we still have the topic the thread is actually about don't we!
I think I just turned the T-wattage upto 11.
